Todd Haynes and actors of his 2007 film, I'm not there posing at the 64th
Venice Film Festival in 2007.

In 1987, Haynes made a short, Superstar: The Karen Carpenter
Story, which chronicles the life of American singer Karen Carpenter
using Barbie dolls as actors.
However, he failed to obtain proper licensing to use numerous Carpenters songs
in the film. As a result, Karen's brother Richard won a copyright infringement suit
against him, and the film was removed from distribution.[1]
